THE nasty battle between Argentina and a group of New York hedge funds has claimed another victim: Citigroup.
The bank said on Tuesday that it would shut its custody business in Argentina after a federal judge in New York last week rejected its request to lift an order that prevented the bank from making interest payments to investors holding US$2.3 billion in Argentine notes.
